Thanks to everyone who showed up for the hack-a-thon! We made a lot of progress, with work done on the Gtk binding, merging compiler runtimes, LLVM, regex docs, the sqlite3 binding, and the network library.

A Call For Help¶. Dylan is a multi-paradigm functional and object-oriented programming language. It is dynamic while providing a programming model designed to support efficient machine code generation, including fine-grained control over dynamic and static behaviors.

When needed, programs can be optimized for more efficient execution by supplying more type information to the compiler. Nearly all entities in Dylan (including functions, classes, and basic data types such as integers) are first class objects. Additionally Dylan supports multiple inheritance, polymorphism, multiple dispatch, keyword arguments, object introspection, macros, and many other advanced features...
